Within The Black

During a raid on a private home in Jerusalem’s ultra-Orthodox Ramat Shlomo neighborhood, the Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA) seized a large cache of stolen or illegally excavated archaeological treasures that were destined to be sold on the black antiquities market. Among the items recovered were three magic incantation bowls, which would have been made sometime between the fourth and eighth centuries AD.

Issues of stolen relics and archaeological treasures are common in many developing worlds where colonial power ruled. In fact, most of the items being displayed in the London Museum are actually archaeological treasures stolen from Africa and Asia. Recently, over one thousand years old stone idol was returned to our hone country which was stolen and sold to a private collector in the US.
